<br>
We would like to invite you to join us for the sixth annual
Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School. The course
is about experimental, computational and medical aspects of
sensory-motor neuroscience with a focus on active learning.
Covered topics include multi-sensory integration, motor learning
& control, computational methods, sensory-motor
transformations and neural coding / decoding. <br>
<br>
An important focus is on doing research as opposed to just hearing
about it. Each teaching module will take up two days with morning
lecture sessions. Afternoon sessions involve hands-on Matlab
programming, simulation and data-analysis. Newly acquired
computational tools can also be applied in 2-week evening group
research projects.<br>
<br>
The course is aimed at students and post-doctoral fellows from
diverse backgrounds including Life Sciences, Psychology, Computer
Science, Physics, Mathematics and Engineering. Basic knowledge in
calculus, linear algebra and Matlab is expected. Enrollment will
be limited to 40 trainees.<br>
<br>
